“We remain on an interesting dynamic. Given the content of the match, the result is logical. But I also think that we could have held our advantage,” indicated the Breton technician.

Brest, 3rd in the ranking, remains on a series of ten matches without defeat but three consecutive draws against Paris Saint-Germain (2-2), Nice (0-0) and Clermont. “We knew it would be difficult against a team that is playing for survival. We have not mastered everything, we do not have this pretension. The Clermontois were waiting for us, we didn’t want to throw ourselves into the den of the wolf. It was a tough match. There was a tactical change among them and they had a more direct game,” added Roy.

“The Clermontois are in a complicated period and logically wanted to be solid defensively. They gave us problems, we had difficulty getting into the game, with the third match in the week. In a week with three matches, the third is always the hardest. But when we were a little better, when we really got into the match, we balanced the debates,” said the Brest coach.
